One of the technical highlights of Spatial Information Day - as can be seen in this video highlights package - was the exhibition hall - which could easily have been one you'd walk around at a robotics conference, minus quadrupeds and humanoids (although sounds like next year there may be some quadruped purchasea to better "show off" some of their product offerings). Every type of sensor type and configuration - including some "Gaussian splatting-ready" LiDaR sensors! And robot and sensor platforms for aerial, ground - both indoors and out - and submersible operations. Some of the LiDaR sensors are in a class beyond what we typically use in robotics and autonomous vehicles, with amazing accuracy up to hundreds of metres (and price tags to match!)

?? Excited to Share: My Latest Journal Article in the Journal of Guidance and Control (JGCD) ?? I am thrilled to announce the publication of my latest journal article, "Local Information-based Guidance for Lane Transition in Air Corridors," in the Journal of Guidance and Control (JGCD)! In this article, I delve into the critical realm of air corridor navigation, focusing specifically on the intricate process of lane transition for quadrotors. Our research introduces a new lane transition guidance method for a quadrotor flying in an air corridor system. ?Utilizing the bearing information of the neighboring vehicles, the guidance method directs the quadrotor for a safe transition between two lanes. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my research supervisor, Dr. Ashwini Ratnoo,Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and my Autonomous Vehicle Labmates amit shivam Gautam Kumar Ravi Khandelwal Gautam Kumar Mohit Kumar Malhotra for their contributions and support throughout this journey.

?? *Exploring the cutting edge in autonomous navigation: LIO-SAM + ROS 2 Humble + GNSS* ?? The integration of LIO-SAM with ROS 2 Humble and GNSS opens new possibilities for autonomous navigation and localization in complex environments. With LIO-SAM, we are talking about an algorithm that combines information from LiDAR and inertial sensors to generate accurate 3D maps in real time. When we add ROS 2 Humble, we get a robust and flexible platform to implement these types of algorithms in robots and autonomous vehicles. ?? *What makes it special?* 1. *Improved Accuracy:* LIO-SAM offers superior performance in urban and forestry environments, where GNSS data may be inaccurate or unstable. 2. *Interoperability:* Integration with ROS 2 Humble facilitates the development and deployment of scalable solutions, benefiting projects that require complex real-time operations. 3. *Practical Applications:* From autonomous vehicles to inspection drones, this technological combination is set to revolutionize how we understand navigation in unstructured environments. ?? *Impact on the industry:* The fusion of these three components not only optimizes the precision and stability of navigation systems, but also opens the doors to new applications in sectors such as construction, precision agriculture and space exploration.

Swarm of micro flying robots in the wild In this video, previously unknown surroundings and narrow corridors combined with requirements of swarm coordination can create challenges. To enable swarm navigation in the wild, researchers develop miniature but fully autonomous drones with a trajectory planner that can function in a timely and accurate manner based on limited information from onboard sensors. The planning problem satisfies various task requirements including flight efficiency, obstacle avoidance, and inter-robot collision avoidance, dynamical feasibility, swarm coordination, and so on, thus realizing an extensible planner.
